What are Your Hands Up To?
We have entered the season of transitioning into promotion and provision. Promotion comes from God but in this time of accelerated provision, God is blessing us by the works of our hands. Palms 90:17 says,
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands. NKJV
One of the ways the glory of God is seen in the earth is the beauty that radiates over you as you walk in your gift and manifest a level of excellence and greatness that only you can release into the earth. There is a part of God that only you can express and God is glorified when you do. As you release your gifts and “do what you do” as only you can, that expression becomes a representation of who God is.
Even more exciting is the word establish. In the Hebrew it is kuwn OT:3559 (koon); a part of its meaning implies to erect or set a wall on top of an existing foundation. As we work to set up those endeavors that are designed to create income and finance the kingdom of God, God will confirm our efforts with his blessing. He will make it sure and prosperous.
So here are some operative questions to activate ACTION in the direction of your faith and efforts.
- What projects have you begun but stopped working on?
- What new skill do you want to learn or cultivate?
- What 3 things do you need to accomplish in the next 12 months?
- What training have you activated but not completed?
- What challenges are you struggling with at the moment?
- What are three things you can do right now to start the process of overcoming it?
- What is your “ONE” thing completed this YEAR GOAL?
- How can you word that goal more specifically?
- How can you measure that goal?
- How can you break down that goal into bite-sized pieces?
God wants to confirm (validate and prove as accurate and correct) that what you are doing is indeed from him. But until you tack ACTION on what he has instructed, nothing will happen. It takes an action to activate the manifestation of something. It takes ACTION to activate a miracle.
TODAY’S DECREE (The Works of my Hands):
Lord I thank you for your blessing. (Deuteronomy 16:15) because the LORD my God shall bless me in all my increase, and in all the works of my hands, therefore I rejoice. I rejoice in performing my passion. Thank you for giving me the fruit of my hand and for making my efforts bear fruit and produce. (Proverbs 31:31) I receive fruit from my efforts. I thank you that my hard work is bringing glory to you and praise to the kingdom of GOD in my community. Lord, with quietness and concentration, I focus on doing my own business, and working with my own hands, and I will walk honestly toward the world producing influence for you. In Jesus name I am blessed. As a result of the work of my hands and your faithfulness to bless and increase me, I lack nothing. 1 Thessalonians 4:11
